two-television series that we viewed, 30 Rock and Studio 60, are very similar in terms of their theme and plot. Both shows revolved around the behind the scene production of Saturday Night Live sketches. These two shows aired on NBC, however it would not make sense to have two TV shows airing on the same topic that’s why one was more successful than the other.
